Are the workouts 25 minutes including warm up and cool down? Or do those add exra time to the workout?

No the 25 minutes includes the warm up only. The cool down is separate but the longest one I have seen is only 4 minutes. Most are 2-3 minutes. This is for alpha only. I haven't gotten to beta yet.

There is no warm-up. There is a cool down of slightly over 3:00 minutes. Over all workout can be completed in 1/2 hour.

The workouts are exactly 25 minutes long. Shaun T calls the first 2-3 minutes of the workout a warm up and he takes the workout all the way to the end of the 25 minutes with no let up. There's not even a water break anywhere in the workout. It's really 25 minutes of straight workout.

There is no designated "warp-up". There is a cool down at the end that take about 3:00 minutes. Overall you will be done in a half hour.

The workouts are 25 minutes. There is no warm up. The cool down is an additional 2.5 - 3.5 minutes.

You may be able to do it because it is only 25 minutes and it has a lower impact version you can do. I usually do this dvd, then run a half a mile to 1.5 miles on the treadmil. I usually workout 5 days a week for 30-40 minutes and have been working out for years. Hope this helps.

Resistance is on the pull, but the longer you row the warmer the "struts" get and they lose a little bit of the resistance. Which means the first 10 minutes of your workout is the hardest. It is not difficult to adjust the resistance.

Sorry waiting until hot weather is here and I have time. My daughter has one and loves it. I have seen the before and after, that is why I bought one for myself. I will be getting a work out in a few weeks.

I think the question is, why are you asking? If you don't have time to do P90X, then sure, anything is better than nothing. If you use the resistance bands/belt it would be better than not doing exercise. But if you think you will get the same thing in 10 minutes that you got in 55 minutes - absolutely not. So if you are used to P90X there is no way you will see an equivalence - it will be like a great warm-up.

The 'workout is the warmup' in this case. No need to do anything before your 'Lastic', unless you feel like it.

I think the music is motivating but you honestly are so focused that you may not notice it. Each exercise lasts for 1 minute then builds to something else. The DVD has an option of normal, loud, or no music on the daily workouts. Day one starts with Cardio, Day 2 is Speed 1.0, Day 3 is Total Body Circuit, Day 4 is Lower Body focus, Day 5 is an Abs workout and a second Cardio workout (2 workouts are scheduled for Friday or you can do the other one on Saturday), Day 6 is a rest day to check your stats and Day 7 is Intensive Stretching. This is the Alpha round workouts and the order of the workouts switch daily for around 4-5 weeks. Then there is a new set of workouts called Betta that begin after these workoust. Honestly, Shaun T is giving a lot of motivation because it's an intense 25 minutes. There is also a 2 1/2 to 3 minute intensive stretch cool down after the 25 minutes to build balance and flexibility. I hope this helps.

It takes about 10 to 15 minutes maybe 20 depending on the temperature you want to heat up then let the sweat begin. I hope that helps. Thanks

Speaking for myself, I'm not following a program. I'm doing the ACTIVATE DVD this month, then I plan to move onto the EXHILARATE DVD next month. It took me three days for my body to adjust to following the steps and still, I'm not perfect with all the moves, but I'm keeping up. RUSH is WAY too advanced for me right now, although it is 20mins. So, I'm just having fun with ACTIVATE for the moment. Don't kill yourself trying to keep up, listen to your body ( unless your body tells you to give up, then don't listen!)

The workouts are extremely low impact, but I would recommend this: as the workouts are about thirty minutes each, if you can walk at a casual pace for ninety minutes - half the workout for three times the length - you should be able to do these workouts. Also, on the first disc (Start It Up!) there are two bonus workouts: Thin Thighs Guaranteed, and Cardio Core Express. You may want to begin with the Cardio Core Express workout first, as it will help build your stamina.

Its a mixture, there is release 60 from the classes. I really like it :) great variety as well if you haven't got much time they have 30 /45 min work outs.

Yes, it is easy and you can get a good work out . It exercises your arms and shoulders plusincreased breathing.. Periods of 10 - 20 minutes for startering. Increase time and tension as desired.

It's one DVD...but there are three (3) workouts. 1st workout is Rockin' Abs which is 30 minutes; 2nd workout is Hard Body which is 35 minutes; 3rd workout is 5 minute Ab Blaster which is 5 minutes.

The main eight workouts are about forty minutes each, including warmup. What they call the "Final Challenge" is twenty minutes, without a warmup, but unless you are in fantastic shape, it will leave you gasping on the floor, wondering if you will be able to get through it some time before your next birthday.

The shortest is a 20 minute core workout. The longest is 60 minutes. But if you get the ultimate warrior there are 2 30 minute, a 45, and 2 60 minutes. Plus they have 4 HIIT (high intensity interval training) ranging from 25-30 mins each. I agree that I found p90x too long. These are perfect and you can mix and match if you want longer workouts.
